Axis Bold as Love (Mono)

Description

Axis: Bold as Love, the second Experience album, was released merely six months after their debut LP Are You Experienced, at the end of 1967. Many of the albums songs were composed with complex studio recording techniques in mind and as a result were rarely performed live. Only Spanish Castle Magic and every-guitar- players-ultimate-study-material Little Wing became staples during concerts. The album shows an incredible growth in Hendrix songwriting and sonical versatility. Radio friendly rockers like Wait Until Tomorrow and You Got Me Floatin are mixed with ballads such as Castles Made Of Sand the albums variety makes it a delightful listen. The original mono pressing was intended to cater to those listeners with outdated hifi equipment, and therefore this is a rare piece of Hendrix legacy. The Music On Vinyl reissue of the mono mix makes this evergreen available for contemporary ears again.
